    Looking around the league there aren't too many reliable RB's anymore. Can't seem to figure out why. I see top 3 or 4 guys, then a mesh of "meh" backs.. Colts in general were embarrassing to watch. No one on the team caught balls.. A lot of drives halted tonight because of that.



    I play in PPR leagues. I'm in some free leagues that I will be dropping to join more cookie leagues next year. Any startups that I do for now on, I will be locking up a couple stud WRs first, and then only investing in RBs who are used in the passing game. With the workhorse back (and possibly rushing attempts as a whole) on the decline, I want backs who can get yards in all aspects of the game.
    2013 predictions

    -Cobb outscores Harvin in PPR
    -Chris Ivory will be a top 15RB
    -Kenny Britt finishes outside the top 20WRs

    Definitely the way to go.. I've been going WR/WR in past years with some success. This year I go RB/RB in most and I'm failing miserably. Never again will I take a RB with my second pick.

    I wish I would have went with my gut on Allen before the season started. He was one of the early favorites to be the 1.01 rookie this year. Early offseason drafts saw him going late 1st, and by August I saw him being drafted in the mid 2nd as overhyped rookies moved up the board. I thought that was just criminal. Unfortunately his price has obviously risen to a point where he no longer is a steal.

    I thought Luck was going to have a really good game against the Chargers secondary

    While I admit Richardson is tough to own right now, if you're in a dynasty league and playing only for the future, he is the perfect buy low. He is a young rusher in an offense that will only get better and eventually turn into one of the most potent offenses in the league. I DO NOT like TRich's usage. However, I do like how he looks when he runs. He was averaging 2.something yards per carry on his first 4-5 carries, but clearly after that, after he was hitting walls that were not his fault, he was very solid, very tough, and found lanes that were closing and squeezed through them. Indy has to use him, though, and they aren't. Not properly anyway. That part I struggle with. I don't struggle with what I see out of TRich, I'm struggling to understand why TRich isn't getting 20+ carries. I just hope his solid play doesn't start after the bye.

    Yeah, WR/WR more than ever. In my leagues where I went WR/WR, my teams are playing tough, and I have Gio and a rotation going at RB1 and RB2. Going RB/RB is a tough play these days, so 2014 mocks will be interesting.

    I think I took Allen in the 4th round of our rookie/FA draft. I couldn't believe he was still there.

    He had a slight above average YPC for him that usual tonight. Only got 10 carries though and 1 catch

    Trent had some nice runs with plenty of yards after contact. Particularly that dump off play had me impressed -- showed both agility and power cutting one defender and running over the next. Obviously the 10 carries has me worried, they ran the ball a total of 13 times and I think their poor WR play dictated the game. Reggie/fleener/Trent/heyward bey(how is he still a starter in NFL?) all dropped easy balls.

    Yes, i get hating the end result Trent Richardson is providing. I get that. I don't argue the frustration, or that some want to give up on Indy using him right. All that I get. Doubting TRich's skills, that I don't get, and I believe in his skill set, talent, ability... Again, I just hope we aren't left waiting for his explosion until after the bye week. I'm afraid it might be the case. Great news for those buying low, though.

    I need:


    full ppr: Woodhead + TY to get a combined 28.5
    full ppr: Ty to get 25.8
    full ppr: Woodhead to score 2.4 points less than Ty (I have Ty)
    full ppr: Ty to score 22 pts and Wayne to pull a hammy in warmups (yeah, 21 down facing Wayne)


    This is basically your guarantee that if you played Hilton this week, you are screwed.

    Hahah I'm sorry dude! Atleast you aren't my friend who is 3rd highest scoring in the league and 0-5

    June 21- Dez Bryant finishes as the #1 WR in 2013.

    It's a crapshoot still. I mean, if you went WR/WR and took Julio and Calvin, that would be a pretty disappointing duo right up there with any combo of disappointing RB/RB combos. Just follow draftcalc and pay attention to who's hot and who's not. LOL
